8ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أحسِنوا صُحبَةَ النِّعَمِ قَبلَ فِراقِها ؛ فإنّها تَزولُ وتَشهَدُ على صاحِبِها بما عَمِلَ فيها.
8– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Embrace your bounties before their departure, for they will leave and testify against their owner with respect to what he has done with them.’[`AeIlal al-Shara’i`a, p. 464, no. 12]
9ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): اِحذَروا نِفارَ النِّعَمِ ؛ فما كلُّ شارِدٍ بمَردُودٍ.
9– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Beware the fleeing of bounties, for not every runaway returns.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 246]
10ـ الإمامُ الهادي (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ألقُوا النِّعَمَ بحُسنِ مُجاوَرَتِها ؛ والتَمِسوا الزِّيادَةَ فيها بالشُّكرِ علَيها، واعلَموا أنّ النَّفسَ أقبَلُ شيءٍ لِما اُعطِيَت، وأمنَعُ شَيءٍ لِما مُنِعَت.
10– Imam al-Hadi (AS) said, ‘Meet bounties by embracing them, and plead for an increase in them by giving thanks for them, and know that the self is the most accepting of what it is given and the most depriving of that which it itself has been deprived of.’[A`alam al-Din, p. 312]
